1//! The `stuffr` command's argument surface.
2//!
3//! Pulled out of `main.rs` and re-exported from `lib.rs` so an integration
4//! test can ask clap itself — via [`clap::CommandFactory`] — what flags and
5//! subcommands exist, rather than keeping a second, hand-maintained list that
6//! the examples page could silently drift out of sync with. `main.rs` still
7//! owns everything that isn't the argument shape: parsing, dispatch, and the
8//! examples text itself.
